Perfume Parlour Sensible II is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Sensible II opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Frankincense. Perfume Parlour's Sensible II carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Sensible II chases Dior Sauvage Parfum, the warm, sweet-woody member of the Sauvage line. It captures the vanilla-and-sandalwood richness over spicy citrus, but renders flatter and skin-close, the original's intoxicating depth thinned for a budget price.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Sensible II opens with the spicy citrus brightness Sauvage Parfum is known for - juicy mandarin and bergamot lifted by resinous elemi. From there it deepens quickly, with creamy Sri Lankan sandalwood at the heart and a warm, sweet drydown of vanilla, smoky olibanum and soft tonka. Compared with the lighter EDT and EDP versions, the Parfum's cozy, oriental sweetness is the draw, and this dupe captures that warm, comforting character in outline. It wears flatter and more linear, though, the genuine Parfum's rich projection softened to a skin-near glow with moderate longevity. The result is a sensual, warm-spicy-woody scent that suits cooler weather and evenings out, with enough polish for the office - a wallet-friendly way to wear the sweetest, most grown-up face of Sauvage.
